Great episode so far!

Magnum PI Season 1

I really enjoyed this episode as well. Lots of good stuff throughout, although it was very reminiscent of other older Simpsons...

WTF king of the hill started at 7:55 but the simpsons ended at 8:30.
Did they only show 5 minutes of king of the hill??
I missed most of the simpsons

"Yep"

and they wasted half of that showing the intro

b*stards they should have said that! why didnt they start king of the hill allready in progress.

Great episode. My favorite line--

"I'm jealous of girls because they get to wear dresses"

Ebenezer Urkel

Good episode

Oh my god - I've seen something I havent seen in 4 or 5 years: a Funny Simpsons! Not "just one laugh out of half an hour", not a "Occasionaly chuckle at one of Homer's pratfalls", but top to bottom funny throughout.

It was so strange. I'l have to tune in next week and see if they can keep it up. . . .

Well I was not too impressed in this episode, but it was prolly because of a long day watching way too much football.

I'm going to have to catch a rerun, as I was watching Survivor. Either that or snag it off Usenet.

a very good episode. reminded me of old time simpsons episodes.

the part where Homer filed down the picture cubes corners for Lenny and was poking him in the eye was great.

"Now, it only midly stings"

I felt the same, but not in a good way...

They've already done the "Flanders is jealous of Homer for being more of a good guy than him" plot and it wasn't changed for the better this time.

The two or three most recent episodes really felt like they were composed from pieces of older episodes.

I've felt the same way, but still enjoyed this one!

Is this the most "live-action" Simpsons has had? Other than the Treehouse episode with the CGI Homer in the real world, I can't think of much else.

Some laughs, but I wasn't too impressed. Just about everything had been done before.

How much would that baseball card really be worth?

Bum: These pants smell worse then my old pants.

Homer: You're welcome.

The California Prunes had me laughing hard.

Lisa: "That's offensive to both Christians AND prunes!"

The live-action (or 'clay action) bits looked stupid and out of place. What was the point of that?

I thought this one was great, as well.

Great episode indeed!

I loved that part.

For anyone that missed it (which includes me), this episode is repeating one week from today (Monday, December 22) at 8 PM

I believe they were a reference to the clay action Christmas specials they used to run every holiday season when I was a kid during the mid 1970s. The one I remember clearly was the Rudolph movie and I believe there was also a Frosty the Snowman version.
